About the Author
St. Francis de Sales was born in 1567 in Savoy, became a doctor of law at the
age of 24 at the Jesuit College of Clermont, Paris, and was ordained a priest
and stationed in Geneva in 1593. He became bishop of Geneva in 1602. Though
known for his great intellect and theological wisdom, he spoke with simplicity
and earnestness, so that all could understand. An Introduction to the Devout
Life, his best-loved work, is based on notes he wrote for a cousin for marriage,
stressing that sanctity is possible in everyday life.
